  "account": "The Chicago Cubs are set to face the Miami Marlins on Tuesday, September 22nd, with a game tip-off at 6:40 CT. The Cubs have been performing exceptionally well recently, having won three consecutive series for the first time since July 7-19 and four of five for the first time since August 3-19. They are currently 26-23-3 overall in all series this year, including a strong 12-11-2 record at home. The Cubs have also been dominant against teams that have a winning record going into games, with a 41-34 record overall and a 25-14 mark at home. This season, the Cubs have averaged 6.10 runs per game, with 61 runs scored in their last four games and 8 of their last 10. Star player Pete Crow-Armstrong is hot on a personal level, needing only five home runs to reach the 50 home run milestone, which has only been achieved by two other Cubs: Sammy Sosa and Hack Wilson. Meanwhile, Marlins starting pitcher Shōta Imanaga has had a mixed run of starts this season, with ERAs ranging from 1.77 to 7.41 over his last 15 starts. In contrast, veteran Janson Junk has struggled, allowing a whopping 15 home runs in just 37.2 innings. With their nine runs scored Sunday, the Cubs now have a chance to become the second-highest scoring Cubs club in the Modern Era, needing just 21 runs over their remaining six games.",
